KHazana-e-zar-o-gauhar pe KHak Dal ke rakh


ḳhazāna-e-zar-o-gauhar pe ḳhaak Daal ke rakh
ham ahl-e-mehr-o-mohabbat haiñ dil nikāl ke rakh

hameñ to apne samundar kī ret kaafī hai
tū apne chashma-e-be-faiz ko sambhāl ke rakh

zarā sī der kā hai ye urūj-e-māl-o-manāl
abhī se zehn meñ sab zāviye zavāl ke rakh

ye baar baar kināre pe kis ko dekhtā hai
bhañvar ke biich koī hausla uchhāl ke rakh

na jaane kab tujhe jañgal meñ raat paḌ jaa.e
ḳhud apnī aag se sho.ala koī ujaal ke rakh

javāb aa.e na aa.e savāl uThā to sahī
phir is savāl meñ pahlū na.e savāl ke rakh

tirī balā se giroh-e-junūñ pe kyā guzrī
tū apnā daftar-e-sūd-o-ziyāñ sambhāl ke rakh

chhalak rahā hai jo kashkol-e-ārzū us meñ
kisī faqīr ke qadmoñ kī ḳhaak Daal ke rakh

KHazana-e-zar-o-gauhar pe KHak Dal ke rakh
hum ahl-e-mehr-o-mohabbat hain dil nikal ke rakh

hamein to apne samundar ki ret kafi hai
tu apne chashma-e-be-faiz ko sambhaal ke rakh

zara si der ka hai ye uruj-e-mal-o-manal
abhi se zehn mein sab zawiye zawal ke rakh

ye bar bar kinare pe kis ko dekhta hai
bhanwar ke bich koi hausla uchhaal ke rakh

na jaane kab tujhe jangal mein raat paD jae
KHud apni aag se shoala koi ujal ke rakh

jawab aae na aae sawal uTha to sahi
phir is sawal mein pahlu nae sawal ke rakh

teri bala se giroh-e-junun pe kya guzri
tu apna daftar-e-sud-o-ziyan sambhaal ke rakh

chhalak raha hai jo kashkol-e-arzu us mein
kisi faqir ke qadmon ki KHak Dal ke rakh
